Description
Overview:
This Switch Shaft is a genuine Stihl replacement part for petrol chainsaws, designed to restore precise switch and control linkage function on the Stihl 066 and MS660. The component is a robust, moulded polymer piece in a compact shaft/lever form, built to withstand vibration, fuel, and oil exposure typical of chainsaw use. It transfers movement from the external control to the internal switch mechanism, helping maintain reliable starting, running and stopping behaviour. Use it to replace worn, cracked or loose parts that can lead to inconsistent switching or poor control feel. As an OEM item, it matches the original geometry for a clean fit within the handle assembly and control housing, supporting safe, consistent operation in demanding cutting and felling tasks.

- Genuine Stihl OEM part for an accurate fit and reliable function
- OEM reference: 1122 182 0902 for easy identification
